You promote a very family friendly environment. I always feel comfortable while there and would recommend spending time there with all those I know. Keep up the good work. Thanks

The downriver YMCA is consistently clean, well staffed and well-maintained. It makes my exercise routine easier to do. I am also impressed with all the other family, youth and community activities that are held at the downriver YMCA. I think it’s an excellent community resource.

My spouse and I have been looking to join a local gym and recently decided to visit the Downriver Family YMCA. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by Sheryl, who was kind, patient, and incredibly helpful as she gave us a tour and explained our membership options. She took the time to confirm our preferred names and pronouns, and reassured us that the YMCA is a safe and affirming space. When we returned for our first workout, she even greeted us by name.

In a time when it is more important than ever for LGBTQ+ people to have spaces that affirm our identities and protect marginalized communities, the Downriver Family YMCA stands out as a place of genuine care and inclusion. I am deeply grateful to know this is a community we can be part of.
